My drug of choice stays in ther system for a considerable amount of time. ( Again, my whole objection is to the potential employer controling my "free time". If I am forced to abstain for a prolonged period of time to pass the test, then I have a legitimate grievance.

Quote by: ima9rd Look at it from an employer's prospective. Why would you want a worker who would have a mental disadvantage due to their choice to use an illegal substance? Wouldn't you want the best person for the job? |
Obviously they already thought I was was the best person for the job, hence the request to be tested.
You are assuming a "mental disadvantage" solely because the chemical tracer remains in the system, but which may not impair the person testing positive. Like all of the bad science surrounding this issue, Im certain that the government ( the military was test run for this propaganda war, and provides all of the "facts used to implement this on society ) cited no unbiased sources to prove this particular point. ( Virtually all of the "facts" used to build the governments database against drugs has been proven false through independent testing, and the information can be found at
American Civil Liberties Union, and at
Drug War Facts
Then there is the issue that the results they get are actually accurate. They have never even attempted to test all of the substances a human could possibly ingest to show a possible false positive. ( Like Ibuprofin has been known to cause a false marijuanna positive, and how poppy seeds show up as heroine abuse. ) The science surrounding this issue is shakier than the concept the philosophy of mandatory testing is built upon.
